In this video from the HPC User Forum in Tucson, David McCallen from LBNL describes how exascale computing capabilities will enhance earthquake simulation for improved structural safety. “With the ...

Preparation for the possibility of emergency is a priority for Bellevue, which is why the city held a full-scale earthquake simulation training exercise on June 6. Staff across the whole city ...

Local government units (LGUs) in the Philippines are poised to adopt cutting-edge technology to enhance their preparedness and response to natural disasters, with the Rapid Earthquake Damage ...

Researchers solving today’s most important and complex energy challenges can’t always conduct real-world experiments. This is especially true for nuclear energy research. Considerations such as cost, ...

The world's largest earthquake-simulation shake table in Miki City, Japan played a large role in helping scientists design buildings that could withstand large earthquakes. The devastating earthquake ...

A new fault simulator maps out how interactions between pressure, friction and fluids rising through a fault zone can lead to slow-motion quakes and seismic swarms. Earthquakes can be abrupt bursts of ...

An earthquake simulator was set up at Union Station in downtown Los Angeles Tuesday to give people the chance to test how ready they are for "the big one." The simulator was installed by the ...

UC San Diego’s earthquake simulator, one of the two biggest shake tables in the world, is scheduled to test the tallest full-scale building ever built on an earthquake simulator. The NSF-funded ...
